Connect with authors, publishers & literary agents

The literary agents at Curtis Brown and C+W regularly visit our London courses to meet students. On our online courses, they take part in exclusive Q&A days.

Introducing our Short Online Writing Courses

These three six-week online novel-writing courses are open to all-comers. Enrol on whichever suits your stage of writing, or take all three short courses to go all the way from first idea to finished novel.

Starting to Write Your Novel

Write to the End of Your Novel

You’ve started writing but it’s a long way to the end of the first draft. We’ll get you there.

Edit & Pitch Your Novel

Great novels are made in the edit. We’ll help you get the best out of your novel and learn how to pitch to agents.

Expert teaching materials

Each course features teaching videos and substantial notes organised into six modules, specially written and produced by novelist, agent and CBC Director Anna Davis.

Writing tasks and support

Each week you’ll complete writing tasks designed by Anna and get feedback from your writing community of fellow students in group discussions, moderated by us. Weekly messages from Anna and our CBC team readers will reinforce the lessons.
